Reminds me of a charset detection bug in some versions of notepad [1]:
1. Open new file
2. Type "Bush hid the facts"
3. Save the file
4. Open the file
5. The content of the file have changed to "畂桳栠摩琠敨映捡獴"

- FranOntanaya 10y agoI've seen one chardet issue on some Python library where detection fails and causes character corruptions if there's only one type of Unicode character present, and everything else is ASCII characters. I pity anyone getting stuck on it.
- cesarbs 10y agoThere was a similar sentence in Brazilian Portuguese. Something about our largest TV network (Globo) lying about the existence of Acre (a state people jokingly say doesn't exist, like North Dakota in the US). I can't remember the exact sentence now though. :)

- cesarbs 10y agoOooh, that was it. I had a completely wrong recollection of it, so my previous comment is BS now :/
